Fabulous Vintage Ivory Sperm Whale Tooth – Antarctica 1920s | South Georgia Whaling Station
This fabulous vintage ivory sperm whale tooth is a rare and remarkable piece of maritime history, dating back to the 1920s. Sourced from a private collection once owned by a worker at the South Georgia Whaling Station in Antarctica, this artifact offers both historical depth and exceptional craftsmanship.
Weighing 1.8 pounds and measuring approximately 6.8 inches in length, the tooth is beautifully preserved with a natural aged ivory tone and solid bone integrity—no cracks, no hollow areas. As larger vintage sperm whale teeth become increasingly scarce, this piece stands out as a highly desirable collector’s item.
What makes this piece even more valuable is that it comes with full CITES documentation, ensuring it is completely legal to own and export in compliance with international regulations.
This tooth is not just a piece of natural history—it’s a tangible connection to a bygone era of Antarctic exploration and whaling legacy. Ideal for collectors, maritime museums, or scrimshaw artists seeking a truly rare and exportable specimen.
